No no NO no No nO NO. This has been trotted out so many times and every time it fails.
Embedded panels do not work it has been tested, even light traffic damages and reduces their absorption capacity.
Raised panels do not work in large areas because the oily dirt from the road reduces absorption and requires constant maintenance.
Large amounts of valuable equipment easily accessible on the side of the road becomes targets for thieves.
So much human time and energy is wasted on failed ideas.
If you read the post you would know it's suggesting a completely different idea than the one you just refuted.
OVER the road and IN the road are not the same thing.
Is this really what the internet has come to? What a fucking disappointment.
